The Latest Overturning of Restrictive Gun Laws In Maryland Bring Up a Simple Question – Why Do Officials Keep Trying To Make Laws That Go Against the Second Amendment?

by

A representative for the Second Amendment Foundation discusses the recent overturning, and ponders why some officials just keep trying. Another week, another attempt by a state to pass a restrictive gun law, only to see it get cut down to size through the courts. Right before the weekend, a federal judge managed to temporarily block portions of a new Maryland law that would have limited where firearms can be carried within the state. The measure, … Read more

The House Just Shut Down the Biden Administration’s Silly Attempt to Defund School Shooting Sports Programs

by

A spokesperson for the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms explain why this is such a pivotal victory for genuine safety. The Biden Administration has been on a tear as of late in an effort to slow gun violence. The only thing is, however, they’ve gone the wrong way about it. For instance, it attempted to defund school shooting sports programs, believing they don’t serve a benefit to students. However, the … Read more

Why Is Joe Biden More Concerned About Setting Up a Dedicated Gun Violence Office Instead of Looking More Into Concealed-Carry?

by

A Second Amendment Foundation representative discusses why Biden’s latest move to “combat gun violence” isn’t really the best direction to take. Over the past year, President Joe Biden has been pushing to ban assault weapons in the United States. But considering the Second Amendment (and the right to bear arms) stands in his way, he seems to be taking a strange new path. During the weekend, Biden announced that he is establishing a new office … Read more

President Biden’s New Violence Prevention Office Has a Dangerous New Agenda – And It Spells Trouble For the Rights of Private Gun Owners (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

The spokesman for the Gun Owners of America explains why members of Congress need to act before Biden and his administration call for a public health emergency. Just mere days after Gov. Grisham called for a “public health emergency” that temporarily called for the banning of carrying guns in Albuquerque, President Joe Biden has established an office that might just be looking into a similar action for other states. Right before the weekend, Biden established … Read more

Governor Newsom’s Request For a Gun Control-Based 28thAmendment Is a Problem, and Other States Need To Act Quickly

by

A representative for the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms explains why private gun owners’ rights are in danger of being violated. California lawmakers have approved anti-gun Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom’s plan to push for a 28th Amendment to dictate strict gun control measures. But gun groups – including the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) – are calling for other states to reject the measure before … Read more

Has New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham Gone Too Far With Her Gun Ban?

by

Even as she loosens her current restrictions, law enforcement veteran Michael Letts and Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford can’t help but wonder how far is too far. Right before the weekend, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham filled a public health order that effectively banned the public carrying of firearms around the city of Albuquerque, with the exception of those involved with law enforcement. The sudden – and rash – decision has left … Read more

The Second Amendment Foundation Provides Its Full Support On Senators Seeking Legal Action Against a New Mexico Governor’s Unconstitutional Gun Ban

by

A representative for the group explains why the Senators are so concerned over the irrational actions of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham. Last week, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham caused havoc for citizens of Albuquerque by outright banning the ability to carry guns (save for officers of the law). But now, on the heels of six Senators calling for an investigation, the Second Amendment Foundation is speaking up on the matter. U.S. Attorney General Merrick … Read more

New Mexico Governor believes she is above her oath and the Constitution By Michael Letts

by

(Originally published on AUN-TV.) It looked a bit like the Old West in Albuquerque this past weekend as law-abiding Americans openly carried their legal firearms in public. Democrat Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham placed a 30-day ban on all firearms (except law enforcement and licensed security officers) in Albuquerque. She called it a public health emergency. Both Republicans and Democrats are calling it a violation of their Second Amendment rights. Dozens of New Mexican gun owners showed up to peacefully … Read more

The Gun Owners of America Refuse To Stand By While New Mexico’s Governor Takes Away Its Citizens’ Gun Rights

by

Spokesman Stephen Willeford explains how Michelle Lujan Grisham is getting everything wrong with her decision – and why legal action is necessary. Right before the weekend, Democratic New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham used a public health emergency to ban the right to carry firearms for most citizens within the city of Albuquerque. The ban is for a 30 day period, though Grisham is considering making it longer. The move has been met with harsh … Read more

New Mexico’s Governor Has Just Called For a Complete Ban of Guns In Albuquerque – and It Could Create a World of Legal Troubles

by

A Second Amendment representative explains why Michelle Lujan Grisham’s latest move could create more problems than it’s worth. Over the past year or so, many states have been trying to implement limitations on concealed-carry of weapons, or even trying to ban weapons outright. And now, you can add New Mexico to the list. Democratic Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has instituted a public health order right before the weekend that bans firearms in Albuquerque, meaning that … Read more

The Community of Los Gator Has Suspended Its “Sensitive Areas” Rule, Allowing Legal Concealed Carry To Take Place

by

A representative for the Second Amendment Foundation discusses this recent victory, though there’s still a long ways to go with other states. Considering that the state of California has literally come under heavy fire from a number of gun regulations, any victory – even a small one – for private gun owners should be celebrated. That’s what recently happened in the community of Los Gatos (in Santa Clara County), as it has chosen to suspend … Read more

The ATF Is Once Again Sidestepping the Second Amendment With a New Background Check Rule (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

The spokesman for the Gun Owners of America explains why the ATF is once again violating the rights of private gun owners. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) continue to make trouble for private gun owners, thanks to a new rule that specifically sidesteps the Second Amendment. Under President Joe Biden, the group has launched a new rule that forces a “universal” background check on any firearm that is sold. In other … Read more

Boston’s Police Commissioner Is Putting the City At Risk Due To Delaying the Processing of Firearm Licenses

by

A representative for the Second Amendment Foundation explains why a lawsuit was filed, and what the city needs to do to make up for Michael Cox’s mistakes. The city of Boston has seen a massive increase in crime as of late, and its police department is doing very little to rectify the matter. In fact, Michael Cox, the Police Commissioner for the city, is making things even worse by delaying the processing of firearms license … Read more

Gavin Newsom’s Push For a 28th Amendment Could Work Against the Second Amendment – and Private Gun Owning Citizens

by

Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford explains why Newsom’s newfound amendment could pose a big problem for those that choose to bear arms. If California Governor Gavin Newsom gets his way, his suggestion for a new Amendment could do away with the rights that the Second Amendment provides American citizens. Newsom has proposed a 28th Amendment , which would include a number of limitations to potential gun owners. That includes raising the age to buy … Read more

The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) Welcome Sig Sauer As “Major” Corporate Sponsor

by

A spokesman for the group explains why this team-up is more important than ever, especially with the ongoing discussion of gun rights. The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms announced today that it has welcomed a “Major” level corporate sponsor in world-famous firearms manufacturer Sig Sauer. The “Major” rank comes from the CCRKBA’s usage of ranks in the Continental Army, namely Captain, Major, Colonel and Brigadier General. With this new corporate … Read more

Do President Biden and the ATF Have a Case Going After “Ghost Guns”? This Lawyer Doesn’t Seem To Think So

by

A representative for the Second Amendment Foundation explains why Biden’s pursuit of “ghost guns” isn’t built on legitimate facts. President Joe Biden and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) have been quite pursuant on “ghost guns” as of late. They’re concerned about how easily they can be bought, and how they can’t be traced without a legitimate serial number of bill of sale. Kristina Mastropasqua noted in a recent email to The … Read more

The Biden Administration Is Costing Thousands of Legal Gun Sellers Their Licenses

by

A spokesman for the Second Amendment Foundation discusses the staggering increase in license losses, due to Biden’s crackdown. The Second Amendment has been put in place to protect the rights of U.S. citizens to bear arms – but that isn’t stopping President Joe Biden and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) from going after those that sell guns. A new report from the New York Post revealed that the ATF has wrongfully taken licenses … Read more

A Gun Trade Association Is Fighting Back Against a New Illinois Law That Restricts Gun Marketing (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford explains how the group is right, since the law is completely unconstitutional. It hasn’t even been a week since the new Illinois law preventing gun dealers and manufacturers from marketing their products has gone into effect, and it’s already facing its first legal challenge. The National Shooting Sports Foundation, based out of Connecticut, recently filed a federal lawsuit against the state, noting that Governor J.B. Pritzker had no … Read more

The Supreme Court Just Revived Joe Biden’s Regulation of “Ghost Guns”

by

A Second Amendment Foundation representative explains why the passing of this regulation is a problem to private gun owners. Once again, the Biden administration is on the attack against guns, this time convincing the Supreme Court that “ghost guns” are a problem. Earlier this week, the Court voted on a 5-4 decision to revive the regulation, which will crack down on kits that can be purchased online to assemble untraceable homemade firearms. While the decision … Read more

Is Illinois Going Too Far Banning the Advertisement of Guns For the Wrong Reasons?

by

A Second Amendment representative explains how the latest attack on gun makers isn’t just unwarranted, it’s concerning. Some believe advertising can be misconstrued in different ways, depending on the message they provide. At least, that’s what Illinois officials seem to think when it comes to gun advertising. Democratic Governor J.B. Pritzker has noted that he will soon sign a bill that will forbid advertising for firearms, based on officials noting that it “produces a public … Read more

Over 100 Democrats Are Trying To Rush Speaker Kevin McCarthy Into a Gun Violence Prevention Vote (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford speaks on the actions of the Democrats – and why they aren’t looking at a more viable solution. Once again, demands are being made by high-end Democrats to get gun violence prevention on the board. And once again, the rights of private gun owners are in the crosshairs. According to a report from The Hill, over 100 Democrats are pressuring Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy to put together votes … Read more

The Second Amendment Foundation Applauds the 5thCircuit Court of Appeals Deeming Joe Biden’s Pistol Brace Rule As “Likely Illegal”

by

A representative for the group explains why this is good news for private gun owners. President Joe Biden and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) have been a thorn in the sides of private gun owners, attempting to get their “final rule” on pistol braces passed so they would be taken away. But a Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals just made sure they didn’t secure a victory. The court deemed that … Read more

Are Anti-Gun Politicians Trying To Change the National Defense Authorization Act In Favor of the Biden Administration?

by

Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford explains why private gun owners and Constitutional-Carry types should be concerned over the move. For a while now, President Joe Biden has been trying to enact every law he can to prevent “assault weapons” and handguns from getting in the hands of American citizens. And now, thanks to a few of his friends in Congress, he may be able to ban more. Several of these politicians are trying … Read more

The IRS Is Calling Off Their Unannounced Visits To Florida Businesses and Residents – But Why Did They Begin In the First Place?

by

A CCRKBA representative explains why the now-stopped initiative should’ve never begun, and wonders who armed IRS agents in the first place. At a time when President Joe Biden is working on an agenda to remove “assault weapons” from purchase, it seems he has no problem putting them in the hands of IRS agents. Just over the weekend, said agents infiltrated a number of businesses and resident homes in Florida, for reasons not explained. However, shortly … Read more

Need a Better Idea of How Gun Control Bills Hurt Businesses? Here’s a Key Example

by

A Second Amendment representative explains how state officials need to take a closer look at such bills, as they’re crippling businesses. While the creators of gun control bills spend a great deal of time patting themselves on the back for their accomplishments (and calling for applause from their supporters), very few realize the effects they can have on businesses – and not just gun retailers. Per this story from Fox News, a gun control bill is … Read more

The ATF Could Very Well Be Getting a Raise Following Its Push To Ban Pistols With Stabilizing Braces

by

Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford explains why the ATF being rewarded for their efforts is a heavy concern. This year has been a rough one for private gun owners, especially with the ATF working hard to get handguns with attached stabilizing braces banned. After many court battles and even a vote where Senate Democrats voted down a joint resolution to block a Biden administration rule to toughen regulations on said braces, it now … Read more

California Is Ready To Unjustly Charge a Punitive Tax On Ammunition and Firearms

by

A representative for the Citizens Committee For the Right To Keep and Bear Arms explains why the tax won’t do any bit of good for private gun owners. As if attempting to impose an all-out weapons ban wasn’t enough, California has a new thorn it’s putting into the sides of private gun owners – a tax. A new bill titled California AB-28 is currently making its way through California government offices, which would unjustly impose an extra … Read more

States Are Continuing To Challenge the Supreme Court’s Gun Decision – But Why? (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford discusses why some states aren’t giving up when it comes to gun control – even as the Second Amendment works against them. Just over a year ago, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a landmark decision in favor of the rights of private gun owners, doing away with a controversial New York gun law that limited the ability to Concealed-Carry outside of the home. This has trickled down … Read more

A New Report Shows Just How Much Two Gun Control Initiatives By Democratic Lawmakers Are Failing

by

A spokesman for the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms explains why these should be repealed – and has the proof to back it up. For some time now, President Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats have been working around the clock on initiatives that would keep firearms out of the hands of potential and current owners. However, a new report reveals how two particular initiatives, put together by those same Democrats, … Read more

The Battle Over Maine’s Firearm Background Check Bill Has Just Begun (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford explains why the bill could do harm to private gun owners. It’s been a whirlwind ordeal for the Maine Legislature so far this week, and it’s not over yet. Earlier this week, a bill titled LD 168 was passed, which would call for licensed firearm dealers to facilitate the “sale, transfer and exchange” of a firearm, unless they were related. It also would have called for obtaining a … Read more

Second Amendment Foundation Spokesman Discusses Enforcement Stay of Warrantless Retailer Searches

by

The representative of the group explains just how wrong it is for gun shops to be searched without a warrant. The Second Amendment Foundation recently teamed up with Shot Tec, LLC and private citizen Grant Schmidt to file a case that challenges Pennsylvania’s firearm regulation, and its enforcement by both the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) and Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office. The importance of this ties in with Montgomery County Sheriff Sean Kilkenny’s recent agreement to … Read more

Montana Firearms Dealer Isn’t Backing Down Following IRS Raid, And Has Reopened His Store

by

A Second Amendment Foundation spokesperson applauds the move, but wonders what prompted the IRS’ actions. Earlier this month, Tom Van Hoose found his gun store, Highwood Creek Outfitters, under attack by IRS agents. 20 “heavily armed” agents moved in to seize thousands of documents surrounding his customers. But that isn’t stopping him from running his business. Per this report from The Epoch Times, Van Hoose has reopened his store, just one week after the raid … Read more

The IRS May No Longer Be Able To Buy Guns and Ammo – And Have To Sell the Ones They Currently Have (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts praises the new bill put together by Sen. Ernst – but still can’t help but wonder why the IRS needed weapons to begin with. In the past, it was reported that the IRS was somehow arming its agents with guns and ammunition, though it failed to disclose why it was doing so. However, Iowa Republican Sen. Joni Ernst is putting together a bill that could end that. Titled the “Why … Read more

House Democrats Are Looking To Bully Republicans Into Voting On an Assault Weapons Ban

by

A Second Amendment representative explains why the bill poses a threat to all private gun owners – even with the protection of the Constitution. In an effort to attempt to “keep their country safe,” a trio of Democrats are looking to introduce bills that could very well force Republican leaders to vote on an assault weapons ban. According to The Washington Post, Rep. Lucy McBath (D-Ga.), Rep. James E. Clyburn (D-S.C.) and Rep. Mike Thompson … Read more

Permitless Carry Will Soon Be Allowed In Florida – But When Will Other States Give It Consideration? (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford considers this a big step forward when it comes to the protection of Florida citizens. Even though it will likely be protested by anti-gun types, Florida is about to grant permitless carry for Florida citizens – giving them a big step forward when it comes to protection. House Bill 543, known as Permitless Carry, is set to go into effect starting on July 1st. With it, citizens will … Read more

Colorado Government Knows That an All-Out Gun Ban Wouldn’t Work, Even If Some of Its Citizens Believe It Would

by

A representative for Second Amendment Foundation explains why the sit-in by Here 4 The Kids won’t lead Gov. Jared Polis to sign any sort of gun-banning bill. Many believe that an all-out ban of guns would reduce “active shooter” events and violence significantly – and one group in Colorado is going all out to get this message across to Gov. Jared Polis. A group known as Here 4 The Kids, made up of over a … Read more

The ATF and President Biden Have Put Private Gun Owners In a Tough Situation With Their Baseless Pistol Brace Rule (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford explains how the ruling could hurt a lot of citizens, even those that aren’t considered a threat. Rather than setting up regulations that would actually keep Americans safe, President Joe Biden, along with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), have put their ruling into effect surrounding guns with stabilizing braces. With it, those that own said braces must officially register, or risk being considered a … Read more

The IRS is stockpiling HOW much in weapons and ammo? (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in WND.) So, over the past few months I’ve noticed something rather disturbing: more and more reports indicating that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) may not have the best interests at heart when it comes to balanced justice. I’ve heard whistleblower reports about preferential treatment for certain types (like President Biden’s son Hunter), as well as stories where innocent Americans were under investigation because of their … Read more

The ATF Has Decided That Those That Use or Possess Marijuana In Minnesota Don’t Have Access To Guns – But It’s Completely Violating Second Amendment Rights (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford explains why pot users should have just as much of a right to guns as other citizens. Once again, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) are dictating who and who shouldn’t have guns in their possession. The group recently signed a bill into law called The Federal Gun Control Act of 1968. With it, anyone who is an unlawful user of any controlled substance – including marijuana … Read more

Michigan’s Red Flag Law Is Asking For Trouble – Especially When It Comes To Deciding Who’s a “Threat”

by

A Second Amendment representative explains why Michigan’s new measure could hinder some people in dangerous situations. Following in the footsteps of Minnesota a few days prior, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has given final approval for a red flag law. With it, the state aims to keep firearms away from those that are “at risk of harming themselves or others”. Known as “extreme risk protection orders,” the law will allow family members, police, mental health professionals … Read more

Finally, A State Lawmaker Is Providing Support For Gun Shops and Their Owners – But Will Others Follow Suit? (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford explains why Alaska’s latest actions are important for gun shop owners, and private gun owners as well. It’s not that often that a state government goes out of its way to take care of gun shops and their owners, especially these days. So, when one actually does it, it’s worth noting. Alaska lawmakers recently passed legislation that will block state and local officials from closing gun stores during … Read more

Minnesota’s Restrictive Gun Laws Are the Wrong Way To Go When It Comes To Solving Violence (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

The spokesman for Gun Owners of America explains why the state’s drastic steps to control gun ownership is a mistake, compared to a more obvious solution. Governor Tim Walz is about to sign a “red flag law” into effect in Minnesota, and it spells bad news for private gun owners, as well as those that the state could possibly mislabel as an “imminent threat.” With the law, authorities would be able to walk into court … Read more

History Appears To Be Playing a Part In the Battle For Gun Rights (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford explains why the rights of private gun owners still triumph over any statures over weapons from years ago. Right now is a very turbulent time when it comes to the rights to bear arms. Though the Second Amendment does allow for people to arm themselves as needed (especially in today’s climate), several argue that it’s leading to more violence – and have even brought up statures from centuries … Read more

Private Gun Owners In San Diego Are Not Fans of California’s Ridiculous 10-Day Waiting Period Law For Gun Purchases

by

A Second Amendment representative explains why the lawsuit from these gun owners is justified. California has implemented a law that calls for a ten-day waiting period to purchase firearms – but that’s too long a period for gun owners in San Diego. A lawsuit has been filed, challenging the state law surrounding the waiting period for new guns, as well as ammunition purchases and possession. It notes that this period “prevents law-abiding people from taking possession … Read more

Illinois’ Assault Weapons Ban Could Be Headed To The Supreme Court – But What Will Happen Now?

by

A representative for the Second Amendment Foundation explains why this particular battle is a big one for private gun owners. With both a federal district court and an appeals court refusing to budge on the request, gun groups are now turning to the Supreme Court in an effort to get state and local bans on assault weapons in Illinois overturned. The gun rights advocates turned in an emergency application to Justice Amy Coney Barrett earlier this week, … Read more

This Week Could Be Huge For North Carolina – and America – With the Passing of a Constitutional Carry Rule (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford explains why this week is a big one for those that believe in Concealed-Carry (or Constitutional-Carry). This year has already seen a number of states support Constitutional-Carry – or Concealed Carry, as some call it – after seeing just how effective it’s been against “active shooters.” Now another state could join this group as of this week, making it the 28th state in the United States to do so. … Read more
